Why is this work relevant for Design?

The Heinz double-lid bottle design is a prime example of innovative, practical design solving a common problem while enhancing brand perception. Its simple yet effective approach led to a substantial increase in consumer engagement and reach, showcasing the power of design in viral marketing. The campaign's inclusivity and cultural sensitivity, particularly in the Middle East, coupled with its commitment to sustainability through recyclability, further underscore its significance. Overall, this design brilliantly demonstrates how creativity and functionality can merge to create a product that resonates widely and positively with consumers.

Please note that the Jurors for Dubai Lynx will be coming from outside the region and may not be aware of the specific cultural nuances of your work.

The fact that such a foolish problem got its own equally foolish solution, was a unique take that no other brands have done. The bottle does provide traditional Arab’s – typically the older generation – in the Middle East who may not read English fluently a way to ensure that they always store the bottle the right way. Well, any way is the right way. But definitely no more trips to grandma’s house to find the bottle placed wrongly.

Background

Since forever, ketchup lovers have struggled to get to the bottom of their Heinz bottles. We thought we had solved the problem with the introduction of the world’s first upside-down squeeze bottle. But we were wrong. Oh so wrong. Turns out, 43% of people store our upside-down squeeze bottle, upright. And 83% of them still struggle to get the very last drop.

The bottle prototype was created as a means to solve this dilemma once and for all, and give ketchup fans the ability to enjoy more of what they love – Heinz ketchup!

And the best part? Our prototype is 100% recyclable.

Describe the creative idea

We decided that well, since one lid wasn’t enough, let’s make two! So now, there’s really no way to store or squeeze your ketchup wrong. Both sides, are the right side.

It’s as simple as that.

The double-lid bottle is a silly solution to a silly problem, but it works! And the best part? Our prototype is 100% recyclable.

We showed the world how ridiculously easy it is to use our bottle by creating a double-lid bottle. The campaign increased awareness among Heinz customers about the proper way to store and use the iconic bottle and positioned Heinz as an innovative brand that listens to its customers.

Describe the execution

The campaign execution maintained Heinz's fun visual design. We ensured our prototype was functional, appealing, and could solve a real problem. To create an easily recognizable and eye-catching campaign, influencers created their own content using an Instagram filter we developed. This contributed to the campaign's success. A series of social media posts and posters were also developed. The result was a viral campaign that captured the attention of people in the Middle East and worldwide. Furthermore, we ensured that the prototype was not only entertaining but also sustainable, so we made it 100% recyclable.
